Solid-state characterisation is much more than identifying polymorphs. While crystal form is a critical determinant of drug performance, solid-state science provides a broader understanding of material properties that influence formulation design, manufacturability, stability, and product quality. Through a series of formulation development scenarios, this presentation will illustrate how integrating solid-state characterisation with formulation expertise enables informed decision-making throughout development. 

Attendees will discover how solid-state insights can guide material selection, anticipate development risks, and support the design of robust, stable, and high-quality drug products. By demonstrating practical approaches to translating solid-state knowledge into formulation advantage, this session will show how scientific expertise can transform development challenges into successful formulation strategies.
